This is very unfortunate but I’m glad they were able to locate him.

I’m not sure what happened but please be vigilant when using the East Bay bike path day or night.

Though it is pretty modern it is poorly lit in certain sections and they’ve had a few notable fatal car accidents over the years and even unfortunately a few attacks in the more secluded sections.

I've made the mistake of losing track of time and riding it back (Providence to Bristol) at night. Some areas are pitch black. At one point I flew by another guy going the opposite direction and didn't see him until we were about a foot apart. If we collided it would have been a disaster. I always ride with lights at light now.

If you’re going to bike at night, bright ass headlights and taillights are a worthwhile investment. RIP
